Look at FIRST Audited financials

Yeah, I've seen this page, but that brings up more questions for me. I see it as the teams buying the kit of parts, and admittance to the regional with the entry fee. The costs I would really like to know are 1) The kit of parts. and 2) How much it costs FIRST for one team to go to one regional.....the other thing I really don't get is that from some posts, I've been getting the idea from others that regionals are supposed to be self supporting? Does this mean that our kit is costing us 6,000$?? That wouldn't make sense.
